Using a baby wrap carrier can really make life easier. It reduces baby’s crying, allows you to get things done, and allows you to bond even more with your child. Here are 7 tips for buying one…
- Maximum weight load – look for a wrap carrier that can be used for a long time with your baby. Ideally the one you purchases should allow you to use it when the child is a newborn all the way up to a toddler. Look for one that has a maximum recommended weight of up to 40 pounds.
- Comfortable for baby and mom or dad – one of the main reasons that people love the carrier wrap style is that it makes it easy to hold baby, and the more they are held the more content they are and the less they cry. As a result you will probably wear your carrier a fair bit so you want one that is comfortable for you and your child. The one that you use should be designed to distribute weight across the shoulders and back for parent’s comfort.
- Easy to use when breastfeeding – if you breastfeed look for a wrap carrier that allows you to easily breastfeed anywhere. It should allow you to confidently feed your child knowing that the wrap is providing you and your child with privacy. The one that you use should have a generous amount of fabric in the “hammock” where the baby is held so that it is very easy to breastfeed on both sides just by moving the child from one side to another without having to take them out of the wrap.
- Buy a carrier that has multiple positions for the baby – when you want to get things done around the house you will want your carrier to allow you to face baby outwards so that he or she can see what is going on. Other times when you want them to ’settle down’ you’ll want the flexibility to change their position so that he or she is snug up against you.
- Hands free – make sure that the one you use is really hands free. It should be easily adjusted and that the upper and lower edges can be independently tightened, so that you really are able to get things done, and keep baby comfortable at the same time.
- Small and Compact – you will want to be able to take it with when you are on the go. You’ll want one that can be stored in a purse or handbag. Look for one that can easily be folded and stored in your bag or in a stroller pocket.
- Maximum benefit – the first time you use a baby wrap carrier you may not be aware of all its flexibility. Make sure that the one you buy comes with a clear set of instructions – or even better with an instruction DVD.
A baby wrap carrier that meets all seven of these points is the Heart to Heart (Heart2Heart or Heart 2 Heart).

A baby has many different sleeping options but how can a parent make a decision about what is the best option for their new baby?
Over the years I have visited many families that were faced with a variety of challenges after their baby was born. From these I have put together some ideas that are worth thinking about before making a decision on your baby’s sleeping area:
1.Do you want them in your bedroom with you? If so, what size bassinette or basket will comfortably fit in your bedroom?
2.How will you teach your child to sleep in a still bed after they have learnt to sleep swinging in a hammock?
3.You have a cot/crib already but it seems too big for a newborn. Consider putting a ‘Snuggle Bed’ inside the cot/crib until they are bigger.
4.You love the thought of your baby sleeping in the parental bed with you but this is unadvisable if either parent is obese, smokes or takes drugs.
5.The baby’s room is a long way from your room and you are afraid that you won’t hear them cry. Consider using a baby monitor or bringing their bassinet/basket closer to your room temporarily.
6.Is the baby’s room going to be cold because it gets little sun and they are due to be born in winter? Consider another room for the first 3 months.
7.Is their sleeping area bright during the day because it has light curtains and direct sunlight? Babies will sleep better after 6 weeks if the lighting is dim.
8.Is the nursery room is upstairs but you will be downstairs most of the day consider setting up two sleeping areas (one upstairs and one downstairs) for the first 3 months. The downstairs option could be a port-a-cot or pram/stroller.
9.You have animals and other children that will open the door and wake them up. Consider a gate on the doorway or a latch high up to secure the door shut.
10.Often a father can be away a lot for work and the mother brings the baby into her bed to sleep. When the father returns home there is minimal privacy as the baby will no longer sleep in their cot/crib. Consider the sleep associations that your baby is learning to go off to sleep with.
Parents are always learning about parenting issues. By considering these challenges that some parents have had could help you establish good sleeping patterns early for your baby.
